nope you have to defeat them in a duel if you want their magic artifact there nothing stopping you from just killing them you just won't receive the puzzle
Jalen Guidry we make fun of it, but it’s kind of like sending your child to a school with a pro gaming course, to enter the professional scene. And yeah, those courses for pro gaming exist in this world
All you have to do is activate "The Seal of Orichalcos" card. You will summon real monsters, but if you lose the duel or surrender you lose your soul. Fair trade-off imo.
Ishizu told him to add it due to its presence in the ancient Egyptian shadow duels. Which then did not involve tributing when they went to ancient Egypt in the final arc.
@@cephery8482 uh, no? you know that most of Kaiba's thing had him basically saying "fuck Ishizu" because he didn't care about her or her opinion and thought everything was bullshit. He just wanted to win.

@@slashb7836 "XYZ monsters can only be destroyed by OTHER XYZ monsters!" This misunderstanding made me hate XYZ monsters for the longest time. I love them now.
@@Error0101 well, it was actually only Number archetype monsters. And it was an effect, so negations would permit destruction from battle. And it was only battle destruction, so other effects could still destroy them. It was still dumb, but it was a mechanical decision for their plot importance.
Everyone did g that shit had yami and yu gi shook as fuck oh and the maze field spell card only way yami and Joey won was because he used the water on the field to conduct summon skulls electricity to hit the twins and end the duel man that whole part of the anime was bullshit
Removing an opponent’s monsters and attacking directly wasn’t an option in Duelist Kingdom. You must not have noticed - nobody ever attacked directly in that season. Your opponent had to have a monster or you couldn’t attack. Kaiba even pointed out how that was one of his new rules in Battle City - that you could attack directly if no monster blocked the way. Also, you could only attack with one monster per turn (another rule Kaiba apparently lifted), and though we never saw it onscreen, if you neither controlled nor summoned a monster during your turn, you automatically lost the duel - thus, the motive to summon monsters in defense mode and buy time, like Yugi did during most of his Exodia duel with Kaiba. TL, DR: Duelist Kingdom rules were stupid, complex, and only worked because plot demanded it.
in the anime, Pegasus explains the no direct attack thing. I didn't notice anything saying only one monster per turn could attack, are you sure about that? I know most of the duels were slower, but when only one monster attacked wasn't it usually because of the no direct attacks thing?
Duelist Kingdom rules are wacky but they work. Check out Rata’s Kingdom Duels video. A guy made a Duelist Kingdom simulator in Tabletop Simulator and it works almost exactly like the Manga/Anime.
one thing that was mentioned in the Duelist Kingdom arc that people seem to forget, as Weevil puts it, the tournament was supposed to have a different set of rules and different effects to reflect the crazy strategies everyone did through the arc. though it still doesn't cover how Yugi and Kaiba's first match still went with no tributes and all that
There's a quote from the author that I remember about this very topic. this is the gist, "when you're watching a game be played, it's more fun for things to be unbalanced so that it is more impressive when the underdog wins. But when you're playing another person, it's the most fun when the two players are equal." In a way, he acknowledged that he was writing cards that were way too broken for actual play.
I remember during the Duelist Kingdom arc when Joey was fighting Keith, one of his monsters couldn't destroy Keith's monster due to machine type monsters being protected by magic resistant armor.
Aw man im kinda sad you didn't mention flame swordsman in the manga it has the ability to instantly destroy dinosaur monsters NO EXCEPTIONS as such it was nerfed for some reason into a vanilla fusion with NO special abilities.
I thought this was about how you could avoid real life consequences through dueling. Going to fail a class? Duel your teacher. Scaping from the police on a motorcycle? The police better close all exits by challenging you to a card game on motorcycles.
Or ya know..challenge your school bully to a children’s card game saying if they lose they go to the shadow team and if you lose YOU go to the shadow realm.
@@Laflamme78 Exactly. My whole childhood I played with my brother and friends at 4,000. Only if we wanted longer games or to try a new combination of cards would be do 8,000.
Duels would be too long with the story elements. Funny enough duels at take episodes to finish are really 2 minutes long by just playing theirs was no pause or talking.
@@Laflamme78 Yeah but look at the duels in GX, most of them are won and done in like 5minutes when Jaden used "Elemental Hero Flame Wingman" and "Skyscraper" xD

More yugioh content please. Character dissections. Top 10s. Favorites. Whatever. Enjoyed this change of pace. Not that the naruto content isn't great but still.
The weird thing is that it actually DID in the manga. It just never happened. Right before the final turn of Yugi and Kaiba's duel before Yugi drew the final piece of Exodia Yugi was thinking he was about to go to like negative 8000 lifepoints or something from a combined attack from Kaiba's 3 blue eyes, even though this shouldn't be possible even then. In duelist kingdom there was one single mention that if you have no monster on the field during your turn and don't summon one, then your opponent is able to attack you directly on their turn. I don't remember who was fighting who, though. This would make sense as a balancing issue, since if your opponent has a stop defense type of card and a beatstick monster then you could just never summon until you had the means to counter attack.
It's like people didnt watch the beginning of the duelists kingdom arc. Pegasus explained that each field has it's own rules on the island. Kaiba set up the battle city rules for his specific tournament and everything after follows suit
@@gabrielreed1096 like what? On an ocean field the moon controls the tide, destroying it stops the tide. Does it screw the real rules. Absolutely. Does it make sense with the way these fields applied real world physics to the game.....yes. Just like curse of dragon did more damage against weevils bugs because fire breathing beats the forest
@@reesejackson5935 Giant soldier of stone being able to attack the moon is what doesn't make sense. Being able to attack things that aren't monsters or your opponents life points is a concept that yugi pulled out of thin air. The game mechanics of duelist kingdom follow whatever logic that the characters want them to, regardless of the different field advantages. Another example is yugi attacking the flotation ring, or when his normal spellcaster monster (i forgot her name) started chanting a chant which lowered the attack of his opponents monster. Or when he fused a spellcard with a monster with polymerization to weaken the Blue Eyes Ultimate dragon
@@gabrielreed1096 right. But its entirely possible that the logic they follow is because of the rules of that tournament and the field they're on. Pegasus loves shit that's wacky. He definitely is the kind of person to say, well if you can justify it. It works. Just like when yugi destroyed the castle of dark illusions flotation ring. Cant attack a specific part of a monster but sure, they used b.s logic to justify it because of the tournament they're in. That's why I say that logic is specific to duelist kingdom. That doesnt happen in battle city or even the digital worlds
@@reesejackson5935 My point is that the rules were inconsistent. This is true for duelist kingdom not because of Pegasus liking wacky stuff, but because the author just didn't know how he wanted the game to go/didn't care. There was a part where yugi attacked during mokubas turn, and where weevil attacked three times, and another time when mokubas xards "wouldn't obey him" because he stole them . The author just made stuff up and didn't care about contradictions. That's what swakage is talking about
Hey SK. I know it’s almost a year out from you making this video, but I wanted to say this is some of your absolute best work. Your smooth presentation, editing, narration and technically knowledge of the game rivals some of my favorite content creators and Yugitubers on this site. I know it’s a far cry since Naruto Content is definitely your bread and butter and is more or less your brand at this point, but I would love to see you talk about more games and anime in this style. Thanks so much!
@@Doge_Attack Not really in the Japanese version... and in the English version they still explained enough that, I think, just about anyone could follow along with what is going on. So it is still doable.
Thank you for bringing attention to Yugioh. The community is kind of small now but it's still an interesting game for a group of friends. Competatively it's ridiculous but that's the way it goes.
(3:58) Also to Bakura saying in duelist kingdom that you have cut all three heads off blue eyes ultimate to destroy it. Yugi evolving his dark magician by using a monsters effect on Joey's side of the field that monster was time wizard. The biggest one is the pyramid of light and the god cards.
Oh man, "I draw a card and pass." "Are-aren't you gonna play a monster?" "Nah, you'll just attack it." [20 uneventful turns later] "Oh look Exodia, gg."
You know what’s crazy? In my 18 years of being alive I never even stopped to consider that Yu Gi Oh was a manga before it was an anime till I saw the notification for this vid drop down lmao
When I was a kid I assumed the the duel monster game in the show was insanely complicated (ie. Like with all the time wizard interactions) so I understood why they had a duel academy lol
@@StayEzay2 he means that wining a game in one turn without letting the other player even draw a card is VERY disrespectfull. In other words doing OTK(one turn kill) is bad
8:52 Use a die that determines percentages. I have a couple that are ten-sided with multiples of 00 on each face. Since the ah-nee-may (haven't read the manga) does have dice games, this is not something that would be difficult to bring to the real life card game, and it's been done before, so...no excusing that, really... 10:33 Another mechanic that can be easily decided by a dice roll. Roll a five or higher on a single six-sided die (or make it so that the roll must be either three or six) and there you go. Easier than the previous example. Anyway, yeah. This was an interesting dive; I'd definitely love to see more of this. Also, this was the first vid of yours (that I recall) I seen. Ya got +1 subscription.
In the manga/anime it seemed to function partially as a card game, and also as a tabletop RPG. Hence some of the out of left field rules (flying monsters, monsters that could hide in the ocean and not be attacked, monsters that could hide in the dark and not be attacked, machines block magic attacks etc), meanwhile in the card game, it's just that, a card game. No special unspoken rules or hidden abilities, it's just what's printed on the card and that's it.
You keep saying that you can't translate randomized elements into the card game but dice exist and are used irl in the card game??? 35% is just 14-20 on a d20. Time Wizard's roulette is just a 1 or 6 on a d6. Etc.
I think it's because at the very early stage of the card game, it's mainly targeted towards younger kids who watched the shows. The main demographics were children dueling during recess or in the backyard, so it was probably best to limit the necessary items to just a pair of decks and a piece of paper. Not to mention that younger kids aren't really adept in dealing with percentages, both as a probability and as an increment of something (20% ATK boost? Really?).
@@deproissant Yeah a lot of early Duel Monsters had D&D influence, so things could happen if you could adequately explain it in the game's lore/mechanics. So the whole Yami Yugi vs PaniK duel makes sense of you think of it as an RP session with cards instead of player sheets or figurines.
Hmm, maybe an annalists on how scripted duels for the anime can play out so differently then a duel irl. And how that effects the cards used in the duels. (Like how irl, no one wanting to Fusion summon a BEUD wouldn't run searchers for the 3 Blue-eyes needed to fuse, but in the anime, the searchers aren't necessary they can just be drawn into the opening hand no problem)
The reason season 1 is so different from battle city is that they were holding on to the season 0 version of yugi. The king of games who can solve any situation. When battle city started it, Yugi's character turned to nonsense. "Luck is a part of skill"... Basically, he draws exactly what he needs and thats it.
Yo let this sink in , some mangaka writes in a sub plot about a card game just meant for a few chapters, then it turns into a huge franchise that sweeps the nation, which leads years later to kids born in the late to mid 90s making Money off TH-cam videos talking about it. Sooooo wild to think about
I would love if you made more videos about YuGiOh! It's such an underrated anime and the dubs aren't helping at all. Arc-v had the worst rushed ending by far but it had one of the best starts to any anime outside of YuGiOh.
Technically Yugi can mind crush you so thats atleast an A tier. But Kaiba summoned a God and broke the rules in the movie AND has time travel powers. So he's an SS
I was under the impression that the early versions on the game (in manga and anime) didn't allow for direct attack on people's life points. It never happened in the first season and didn't become a thing until later when LPs were raised to 4k. That's the only way that a 2000 LP ruleset would make sense.
Well to be fair I think action cards were an amazing addition to the series and fixed a lot of issues! As in it allowed for more movement so they aren't just standing and staring, giving cool different arenas and allowing more people to have plot armour in a way that kinda makes sense rather then just *heart of the cards*!
Please make a video on jugo and his powers, his backstory, curse mark and sage powers because they have always confused me. Also don’t forget about all of his forms
I was literally rewatching your latest upload wondering when your next video would come. Load and behold I get a notification from swagkage. *THE GODS HAVE SPOKEN!*
Manga and Duelist Kingdom predates game. And to be honest i kinda like how more roleplay-like were duels in Duelist Kingdom, i guess? It was kinda like DnD with heavily liberal GM flavor ruling but with cards.
I like how Revival Jam somehow instantly got put back on the field after being destroyed, and this counted as a special summon, and Yugi was able to use Brain Control as basically a quick play version of Monster Reborn in the middle of (anime) Revival Jam’s regeneration. I knew something was off the moment I saw real life Revival Jam. Still can’t believe Deck Destruction Virus got messed up in Nightmare Troubadour. It read the pyramid of light text (super OP, opponent could lose in 3 turns) but executed a 3 turn crush card effect, and only in the hand, not the deck.
@@rickrincher9132 Right; but his whole spiel of just using Raigeki and direct attacking in one turn to OTK easily doesn't work. In fact; Raigeki was in the anime as early as Battle City, albeit as a rare card supplied by the Ghouls (Rare Hunters in the dub) that was also banned in Kaiba's tournament.
Heart of the cards was unbalanced af in the anime
Yeah man how come only yugi gets a once a game search your deck for any card you need win the game effect
It was confirmed in manga that Yami can subconsciously choose which card to draw. It's just that they never mentioned that sentence in anime
That shit was hax bro low tier matter manipulation LoL
The new cards are unbalanced af irl now

I'm fucking screaming🤣🤣🤣🤣
JPARnum1 Friendship powers are too op.
I heard people say that the card effect is that you win the game if you discover the meaning of life. Its some pretty deep shit. . .

@@Doge_Attack Not really in the Japanese version... and in the English version they still explained enough that, I think, just about anyone could follow along with what is going on. So it is still doable.
Really wished you uploaded more but honestly I understand how long these take and the quality is verdy verdy noice
Rewatching this now makes me realize I'd love to see swag do more yugioh videos. Between his voice, personality and insights make it so interesting
*5ds and Vrains are pretty good at following real life's rule*
I too enjoy creating cards out of thin air by using magic power
True but sometimes dueling on a motorcycle an hover board gets crazier
When you said trap card, you should have put a picture of Haku in the card🌚
Anbu Headmaster
Good Joke
Thank you for bringing attention to Yugioh. The community is kind of small now but it's still an interesting game for a group of friends. Competatively it's ridiculous but that's the way it goes.
(3:58)
Also to Bakura saying in duelist kingdom that you have cut all three heads off blue eyes ultimate to destroy it.
Yugi evolving his dark magician by using a monsters effect on Joey's side of the field that monster was time wizard.
The biggest one is the pyramid of light and the god cards.
In Duelist Kingdom rule, reason LP 2000 is because DIRECT ATTACK is NOT ALLOWED.
Oh man,
"I draw a card and pass."
"Are-aren't you gonna play a monster?"
"Nah, you'll just attack it."
[20 uneventful turns later]
"Oh look Exodia, gg."
@@dapperghastmeowregard I CANT BREATHE 😂 😂 😂 💀
You know what’s crazy? In my 18 years of being alive I never even stopped to consider that Yu Gi Oh was a manga before it was an anime till I saw the notification for this vid drop down lmao
10:43 "There's no way to do a one-to-one translation." eh?
DUDE. It's a 6 Tiled Roulette. A Die has 6 Sides, think about it, it's EASY.
Thanks for adding Yugioh content to the channel Swag. Keep please making more Yugioh videos.
When I was a kid I assumed the the duel monster game in the show was insanely complicated (ie. Like with all the time wizard interactions) so I understood why they had a duel academy lol
Is that final fantasy 8 music..in the balmora gardens? U just brought me back like 18 years
I love that my favourite ani-tubers are making Yu-Gi-Oh content now
The Yugioh manga was so dark. It was one of my favorite things to read as a kid
@13:45 thats the most disrespectful game of yuigioh ive ever seen
Najeetheanalyst what game is it?
@@StayEzay2 he means that wining a game in one turn without letting the other player even draw a card is VERY disrespectfull.
In other words doing OTK(one turn kill) is bad
@@exequielbreton4393 he prolly came into the game like im about to win this and lost in one turn😂
What's the name of the videogame, tho'?
Swag really bro I don’t want to c ur channel die, I love your channel and I hope u branch out to keep it alive
8:52 Use a die that determines percentages. I have a couple that are ten-sided with multiples of 00 on each face.
Since the ah-nee-may (haven't read the manga) does have dice games, this is not something that would be difficult to bring to the real life card game, and it's been done before, so...no excusing that, really...
10:33 Another mechanic that can be easily decided by a dice roll. Roll a five or higher on a single six-sided die (or make it so that the roll must be either three or six) and there you go. Easier than the previous example.
Anyway, yeah. This was an interesting dive; I'd definitely love to see more of this. Also, this was the first vid of yours (that I recall) I seen. Ya got +1 subscription.
Anyone else want to know which decks Swagkage mains? 👀
In the manga/anime it seemed to function partially as a card game, and also as a tabletop RPG. Hence some of the out of left field rules (flying monsters, monsters that could hide in the ocean and not be attacked, monsters that could hide in the dark and not be attacked, machines block magic attacks etc), meanwhile in the card game, it's just that, a card game. No special unspoken rules or hidden abilities, it's just what's printed on the card and that's it.
You keep saying that you can't translate randomized elements into the card game but dice exist and are used irl in the card game??? 35% is just 14-20 on a d20. Time Wizard's roulette is just a 1 or 6 on a d6. Etc.
Nerd
Edit: this is impressive
You could also use percentile dice for any percent chance.
I think it's because at the very early stage of the card game, it's mainly targeted towards younger kids who watched the shows. The main demographics were children dueling during recess or in the backyard, so it was probably best to limit the necessary items to just a pair of decks and a piece of paper. Not to mention that younger kids aren't really adept in dealing with percentages, both as a probability and as an increment of something (20% ATK boost? Really?).
@@deproissant Yeah a lot of early Duel Monsters had D&D influence, so things could happen if you could adequately explain it in the game's lore/mechanics.
So the whole Yami Yugi vs PaniK duel makes sense of you think of it as an RP session with cards instead of player sheets or figurines.
Hmm, maybe an annalists on how scripted duels for the anime can play out so differently then a duel irl. And how that effects the cards used in the duels. (Like how irl, no one wanting to Fusion summon a BEUD wouldn't run searchers for the 3 Blue-eyes needed to fuse, but in the anime, the searchers aren't necessary they can just be drawn into the opening hand no problem)
Where are my Yu-gi-oh! Videos Swagkage?!?!?! We need more
Oh god, thanks for the background music of my favourite Final Fantasy!
What track is it?
Ff8
The reason season 1 is so different from battle city is that they were holding on to the season 0 version of yugi. The king of games who can solve any situation. When battle city started it, Yugi's character turned to nonsense. "Luck is a part of skill"... Basically, he draws exactly what he needs and thats it.
So this is how Yugi wins battles in Jump Force...
plz teach me senpai
Thanks for all your content swag!
How did this man not talk about Pegasus’s hella broken toon world cards
Do the god cards video , they’re some of the coolest concepts in the manga/show/game and it hooked me into the series.
Sounds like a good video. Since The God Cards get barely talked about.
Hey swagkage, can you make a video explaining gremoires from black clover?
LetsGetIt Wright yea that too lol
Subscribers: we want Naruto videos
Swagkage: nah
He made the video since he wanted to explain the duel monsters game rules in the anime vs real life
Sakura The Duelist
Exactly. At least let’s give Crackhead Network some likes on his comment he barely gets any. I feel bad for him.
@@boruto1974 its TH-cam off I kinda feel bad.
@@agu-man6065 It was just a *epic* joke
@@cracktoon_powerscaling pretty much I fell bad
Yo let this sink in , some mangaka writes in a sub plot about a card game just meant for a few chapters, then it turns into a huge franchise that sweeps the nation, which leads years later to kids born in the late to mid 90s making Money off TH-cam videos talking about it. Sooooo wild to think about
The irony is that you build a whole deck and sometimes a side deck and you only need one card to destroy your opponent only if that card OP of course
I would love if you made more videos about YuGiOh! It's such an underrated anime and the dubs aren't helping at all. Arc-v had the worst rushed ending by far but it had one of the best starts to any anime outside of YuGiOh.
Yugioh anime is underrated? Never heard of that.
@@promisnwekenta9703 compared to other top shonen anime I mean.
@@game_changer1331 YuGiOh was one of the most popular anime ever made. fuck you mean underrated?
KaDazee he’s talking about the LATER Yugioh series, not the original or GX.
@@kadazee yeah what Matt said, no need to get mad.
So when can we expect a power scale of all the characters in Yugioh?
Kaiba is definitely God tier. Dude figures out who Diva is and literally explains nothing about how he knows.
Pls no...I hate this stupid anime so much
Technically Yugi can mind crush you so thats atleast an A tier. But Kaiba summoned a God and broke the rules in the movie AND has time travel powers. So he's an SS
Holy shit Swagkage, wtaches and likely play Yu-Gi-Oh and and is stepping into Yugitubing area.
Yesssssssssssssssssssss
Nice Triple Triad reference with the bgm 🤙🏾
I was under the impression that the early versions on the game (in manga and anime) didn't allow for direct attack on people's life points. It never happened in the first season and didn't become a thing until later when LPs were raised to 4k. That's the only way that a 2000 LP ruleset would make sense.
What a coincidence! I just got back into Yu-Gi-Oh a few days ago! Great vid, Swag!
i agree! more plz.!
You should talk about how much darker the manga is from the show
Congratulations on your W against 🅱️aku
I love that you used FFVIII Garden OST
Dude you need to do more yu gi oh stuff please!!
But seriously, what does Pot of Greed do?
It allows you to draw two cards from deck
I think it allows you to draw 2 cards but some1 will have to fact check this statement
You draw 2 cards without any penalty
It makes you win every duel
arc v follow the real live rules!!!!, hold my actions cards
Well to be fair I think action cards were an amazing addition to the series and fixed a lot of issues! As in it allowed for more movement so they aren't just standing and staring, giving cool different arenas and allowing more people to have plot armour in a way that kinda makes sense rather then just *heart of the cards*!
Nobody:
*Swag Uploads on a Tuesday*
Everyone: my eyes must deceive me
unfunny bitch
You know it's interesting when DIO is intrigued.
Please make a video on jugo and his powers, his backstory, curse mark and sage powers because they have always confused me. Also don’t forget about all of his forms
SWAGKAGE FACE REVEAL?! Like if agree
No
U should do what if Indra and Asura were reincarnated during the ninja war 🔥
Don’t ask me how will someone could get their body’s to reincarnate them😂
I was literally rewatching your latest upload wondering when your next video would come. Load and behold I get a notification from swagkage. *THE GODS HAVE SPOKEN!*
He'll be back next in a month
Manga and Duelist Kingdom predates game.
And to be honest i kinda like how more roleplay-like were duels in Duelist Kingdom, i guess? It was kinda like DnD with heavily liberal GM flavor ruling but with cards.
I like how Revival Jam somehow instantly got put back on the field after being destroyed, and this counted as a special summon, and Yugi was able to use Brain Control as basically a quick play version of Monster Reborn in the middle of (anime) Revival Jam’s regeneration. I knew something was off the moment I saw real life Revival Jam.
Still can’t believe Deck Destruction Virus got messed up in Nightmare Troubadour. It read the pyramid of light text (super OP, opponent could lose in 3 turns) but executed a 3 turn crush card effect, and only in the hand, not the deck.
Do you follow the current game and if so, do you play it casually or competitively?
Both
@@dbl3323 and the hits keep coming and they don't stop coming
i do. i currently play orcust. went to YCS knoxville and almost made top 32 with it actually
@@Swagkage yo, what's the game you played in the video to demonstrate your point?
@@x6568tank I could be wrong, but that looked like Yugioh DevPro. Basically a free online Yugioh game, it's pretty sick
You have that final fantasy 8 garden music playing in the background ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I don't think Direct Attacks were permitted in the early 2000 LP stages of Yugioh, actually.
Intrepid Explorer yup but you had to play a monster and if you ran out of playable monsters you lose
@@rickrincher9132 Right; but his whole spiel of just using Raigeki and direct attacking in one turn to OTK easily doesn't work. In fact; Raigeki was in the anime as early as Battle City, albeit as a rare card supplied by the Ghouls (Rare Hunters in the dub) that was also banned in Kaiba's tournament.
You really should make a follow up video. A whole series in fact!
I would seriously love to see more yugioh content whether it be on here or on another channel of yours!!!
